Come on ladies, we don’t even have to exaggerate how nutritious seeds are. The roasted seed mix is a perfect fiber-packed snack to munch on in the freezing evening. Garima says, “Loaded with antioxidants, vitamins, mono and polyunsaturated fats, seeds help the body to reduce blood sugar and cholesterol.” And that’s why they are healthy.

Nuts like almonds, walnuts, and peanuts are great winter snacks. Whether you choose raw and roasted nuts, both are good for you and provide health benefits. They are tasty, tanked up with healthy fats, protein, antioxidants, and other nutrients that reduce the risk of inflammation and heart stroke.

Berries are not only delicious, but also extremely helpful in preventing cancer and lowering blood pressure. “A diabetic person can simply enjoy the berries because their natural sweetness is super packed with fiber, making it one of the best snacking options,” says Garima.
